It is odd that people choose to ignore actual archeology- especially when it directly corroborates historical text. Which is quite different than folktales- perhaps your reference to 'Israelites' for which there is no real archeological evidence, is there?

Are you confusing correlation with causation? The Kalash are not an isolated group, so much as they have resisted to their best of their ability to mix with their Muslim neighbors (Pakistanis) because they are not of them and consider Phillip II to be their patriarch. The incredible lengths people go to to try and obfuscate the obvious lol... 'Isolated central asian group without much contact or intermixing with subcontinent folks claims ethongenesis with Greeks over 4 thousand miles away'.

Greeks didn’t leave much behind genetically in their Afghan settlements, Kalash are a relict from when PIE populations first came into Europe, as I think Y haplogroups show

Kalash are a relic of Proto-Indo Europeans is a catch all with no evidence. Such claims with no actual evidence is not worth talking about. But I guess the Greeks did leave behind influence given the new and improved muscled Buddhas that resembled Apollo
